Hello ,
I understand your concern.
I am Dr. Arun Tank, infectious disease specialist, answering your concern.


no, this way no STD can spread.

organisms get diluted in the water of the pool. So this way no organisms can spread.

Fountains also contains bleaching powder in it. bleaching powder can kill any STD organisms. So there is no point of worry for you.

STD organism cant leave in the atmosphere for long period. it can be killed within a minutes. So there is no need to worry.

So in my opinion you are clear from the risk of any STD organism.
